Now I know.. how disgusting some people can be in university.
There are people who can skip grp tutorials for their own convenience, when it is supposed to be group work. And they live in school halls while people like me live a hour plus ride away go for tuts.
And then this is another situation that happened.. to show the polarities between true friends and selfish people:
One day I was telling my friend I wanted to try go ask the prof if he needed help in the form of a research assistant, so I could gain experience. And then this fren kept discouraging me, telling me how embarassing it could be if the prof rejects my offer, and then told me this story of another girl who got rejected so many times by the prof, but she pestered the prof till he agreed. But knowing my thin skin, walau how can I handle rejection rite... so I got really discouraged.
And this morning, I was asking another fren. He told me, no way.. profs would of cos love free labor! So they most prob won't reject me. And the girl in the story mentioned above definitely didn't get rejected by the prof, not like what my first fren told me. Then this 2nd fren encouraged me to email the prof.
But guess what? Fren 1 told me, if I were going to email the prof, help her ask as well. Cos she wan the research job as well, just that she don't wanna email the prof herself. And before that, she was still telling me it's no good to go ask the prof.
I dunno la.. fren 1 had done many many things to make me really feel disgusted with her sometimes... but yet it's not good to really make things ugly cos we will see each other everyday.. my fac is so small.
Anyway, I just emailed the prof! Haha I felt really inspired after many friends encouraged me to go ahead. I got this ah beng fren who even told me to ask fren 1 to go find him if she's not happy. HAHA touched leh. He say, don't live our lives for other people. Do what we want most! Inspirational.
But of cos, not everyone in uni is like that fren 1. I'm lucky I got a bunch of really good and nice friends who will go thru thick and thin with me. =D
But I think I outta exercise some discrimination and stop giving in to other people's wishes easily. Like that they will think it's easy to take advantage of me and then they will go overboard sometimes. =(
But life is still good over here. Hope u all don't get influenced by the bad mood above! Heehee
